Description

Our leader, Voren'thal the Seer, was once a close advisor to Kael'thas. His prophetic visions warned him that Kael's path would lead to the destruction of our race.

The visions are usually vague and unfocused, but our alchemists have devised an elixir to help him focus his clairvoyance. Unfortunately, this elixir calls for a rare ingredient: basilisk eyes. My usual source, this pathetic ethereal, has failed me.

Seek the dampscale basilisks in the rocky regions of Terokkar and bring me their eyes.

I didn;t fully understand when I went to do this quest as a Draenei. It says you need hostile to accept it which is true. Draenei need to go up to the Aldor rise and turn in a Fel Armorment to get said Hostile rank. Very confusing but yes it works.

If I am Revered with Aldor when I do this, will I get Revered with the Scryers insted when I complete this quest? Thx.

u know how you get 50 aldor rep for every 100 Aldor or scryer rep, can i take advantage of the mad, cheap rep gain from these quests by jsut switching back and forth?

Comment by zanladar

I was exhalted Aldor and switched scryer. Didn't know the dagger scyrer held. But now, I'm the sole person in my guild that can create all leather resistance gear both sides offer.

This is an incredibly long ordeal:

42k rep to reverse. BUT a lot of great farming if you are a leather worker and the chunk o' balisk sells for roughly 10g per stack

Well, this quest can also be done, if you (as i had the pleasure to experience), do the "choose side" quest, and log on the next day and are back to unfriendly with both sides, not able to interact with any of the NPC's.The GM's couldnt help me on this, deleting WTF folder and etc, would not let me gain the quest to choose side again, so this helped me gain neutral, and the ability to talk to the scryer NPC's.Hope it helps if people have the same bug :)

Brutal drop rate for me around 20%

Comment by gfortson

Other than choosing a faction you don't want another reason to do this is if you are a tailor, jewelcrafter, blacksmith or leatherworker and want to get all the recipes. Crafting the items don't require you to have the appropriate faction, just learning the recipes.

Anyone know how many it takes to go from Hated to Neutral

Comment by dwamoe

Question? Since Sha'tar rep is gained whenever you do a quest for Aldor or Scryer would it be possible to rasie rep with one faction and then do this quest to switch factions and continue to raise Sha'tar rep? Anyone ever check?

Comment by Kraslev

Is this the only way to go back if you accidentally do the wrong quest from Khadgar? I really want to be with Scryers but I clicked the wrong one... and this is a LOT of farming T-T

Comment by oobass

FYI, if your Dranei you are automatically ALDOR, this quest will not be available to you. Also if you are an enchanter and need SCY for leveling, no fear, you can go to http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=33676 Hope this helps

Comment by Garukwa

This quest has TERRIBLE drop rate. I don't know if it's just me but I'm getting about 15%. I'm doing it so the scryers in Shadowmoon Valley won't attack me.

If u run down to Silmyr Lake. There will be some basilisk walking around the river side == yea here drop rate is better for eye

Comment by Vanquisher

Would this remove one reputation from my 35 Exalted Reputations achievement?

Comment by Synchronizor

I farmed the eyes around Silmyr Lake in northern Terokkar. After getting into my groove farming the basilisks, I started running some napkin math, and calculated that I was averaging about 115 eyes per hour of uninterrupted grinding.

I was farming with an 85 druid, with all available speed increases (enchants, talents, PvP set bonuses, 310% flight speed increase upped to 351% with the guild perk, etc.), popping Swift Flight Form frequently, making use of Feral Charge, Dash, and Stampeding Roar on CD, and ranged pulling the basilisks else-when. With all that going for me, it seems fair to say that 115-120 eyes per hour is about the best-case farming rate any player could hope for, barring some statistical oddity.

Comment by Kisser

Hello, my reputation in shattrah is Aldor 385/3000 neutral and Scryers 2577/3000 unfriendly. It is after the "faction selection" quest. I want to choose the scryers and i was farming the eyes for this quest. The problem is, when i return to NPC, she dont have any ! or ? for me, so i cant exchange the items for reputation. It is another way, how to reach 0/3000 neutral with scryers again? Or how to solve this issue please. Thanks

Comment by ktoth04

1222 eyes with a guild of at least rank 12 (by my math).

Comment by mekikya

In case you were confused as heck like me, you HAVE to have completed some prereq quests...and FYI, You wont be able to talk to Adal or Khadgar for the city of the light quest, you unless you get the quest from the veteran FIRST...learned that the hard way...
